Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

OK - - the good news first: This thing is FABULOUS - - I only need a little more than HALF the grounds to make the SAME strength coffee as my old Krups Drip! So within the next few years, this will pay for itself in coffee bean savings. {I use the 'Rich Brew' setting} I Also love the water reservoir system - instead of having to draw water for each cup, you just set the brew size, and away you go. Flexibility is great - our old Krups would NOT make a decent SINGLE cup, this one DOES And finally - - the Frother is outstanding. On our current Keto Diet, we often make a 'bulletproof' coffee - - This frother is better than our Aerolatte I did buy the thermal carafe unit because there is NO heater plate in this - the Coffee stays warm for about an hour or more I can only imagine that with the Glass Carafe unit, the coffee would cool MUCH more quickly I have NOT had any problems pouring OUT of the thermal carafe as has been reported on other website reviews. If needed, a quick bump in the Microwave warms it back up - far preferable to burning the coffee on a heater plate. - And now the Bad News - - the coffeemaker does NOT shut off automatically after the brew cycle is done. You have to press the button. I see this as a safety hazard because the heating element remains ON. If this is just a setting that I've overlooked, (Hey Ninja - - you listening?) I'll bump my rating back up to 5
